Very few riders thru the week means good riding for the weekend. I can’t give a first hand report today (much to my disappointment). We weren’t able to get out on the trail yesterday due to all the mundane chores necessary to be ready for our weekend guests.

The trails are being groomed, and riders report great rides. Trail 7 is in great shape.
Riders report having good rides going north and then west heading thru Chandler Hills.
Jordan Valley. Much more snow to the west of us. A rider enjoyed going to Starvation Lake and along the Blue Bear.

We got approx. an inch of snow yesterday to freshen the trail. They are saying about that much expected for today, and possibly more tomorrow.

Hope your Christmas shopping is done so you can enjoy the trails before the crowds begin to arrive after Christmas.

The snowmobile trails from TwinLakes to CopperHarbor are open, and groomers are out working on them. Most trails are snow covered but in early season condition and riders should be aware that there are rocks, stumps, branches and wet areas not yet covered by snow and hazards that have not yet been identified. Any trail usage should be done with extreme care until we have better snow cover.

Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails…….they have the right of way!!

There is logging on a short portion of Trail 133 between Gay and Lac La Belle. The protective mat on the PortageLiftBridge between Houghton and Hancock will not be installed until the middle of December. Please drive carefully on the metal grating until the mat is installed…..do NOT use the ice.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.
